The national headquarters for the Girls Scouts of America is a brand new huge building in my city. I have wondered for a long time how such a "humble" group could afford such an expensive looking place. Now, I'm convinced that they are being bankrolled by monied leftist groups.

It'll be a snowy day in July before their cookies enter my home again.

American Heritage Girls sounds like a great alternative, but they still don't have a troop in my neck of the woods. (Middle Nowhere, PA)

What I see happening is a movement back through the eons to worshipping a fertility symbol, the earth mother, primitive, whorey, egotistical, anti-God, nasty, idolatrous, by um - modern? enlightened? people.

Here is what is completely wrong with this! Why would a lesbian wish to address a convention for youth (Girl Scouts). In publicly representing herself as a lesbian, she is informing the world that she desires sex with other women. So why does she need to be involved with the youth convention which is a program for minors?

I didn't have a very high opinion of the Girl Scouts in the first place. This further lowers my opinion.

As contrasted to the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts seem to be more interested in selling cookies to bankroll their organization than they are in the outdoor skills and activities that girls should be engaging themselves in. Now it would appear that they're using their organization to promote a feminist political agenda. That's their right. But it's also the right of parents to decline to allow their daughters to participate in the organization. And it's also everyones right to not buy their cookies, Which aren't very good anyway.

This AHG sounds like a better alternative. I think the "Y" has an alternate organization as well. (Camp Fire Girls?)

My wife (I helped as a registered GS myself) had a GS troop for 10 years. Saw our girls (including my daughter) go from Brownies to Seniors. By that time, the late 90s, GS (and our regional counsel, to a lesser degree) had become so politically correct it was pretty bad. Got involved with another troop as co-leader two years ago and just couldn't take it. GS has become just plain disgusting in many ways. It is very sad. Most of the tasks I did in helping the troop over the years are banned now. Men are all treated as being potential molesters and rapists. And not too subtly, either.

A friend and GS volunteer and leader for 17 years was kicked out of scouting. Her crime? At the camp, she was smoking in the properly designated area for adults to do this. Unknown to her a girl had snuck out there and saw her smoking. She was booted out of scouts after 17 years of service! Left a sour taste her her mouth I can tell you.

The left has really trashed a fine organization. I am amazed the Boy Souts have done as well as they have in resisting. The wackos corrupted GS from within, and since they haven't been able to do that with BS, they are attacking them legally from without.

Of course, she wants to make heterophobia and homosexism mandatory.

And this folks is why the left does not oppose the girl scouts.

Sign your kids up for Awana or something else.

OK... The "Girl Scouts" are hereby added to my list of organizations that I'll have absolutely NOTHING to do with.

Instead of being family-centered, the group now promotes “girl empowerment,” with programs that focus heavily on a narcissistic devotion to self,

In other words, they've been Oprahfied.

brainwashing at it's finest (or rather, ugliest). Their trick is to catch them early and get them to believe whatever they want. that must be why I've seen so many young girls (12, 13 or so) thinking their lesbians

I don't know, but the changes has been explicitly portrayed on the cookie box graphics for many years now. Especially the "narcissistic devotion to self".

I have greatly curtailed my cookie buying, but I still have to have a box or two of those Samoas.

Truth will come out in the end.

Presuming that Lesbians/Gays are “born that way” which is what the homosexual agendists would want us to believe, sooner or later these brain washed girl scouts, who weren’t really “born that way” will come to the realization that they have the same needs and desires that normal, non brainwashed heterosexual women have. The problem is, will they be able to function in society.

I am truly amazed that Democracy survives in America with the likes of the Communists in the Democrat party, the Liberal agendas being taught in the schools, the open borders and the state of terrorism, the IRS and the Federal reserve system sucking money out of the producers, the anti-G@d group trying to remove all references from America while Muslim children are allowed to pray in school, the Girl Scouts, et al…
